When building a new system for a customer, I was faced with the error:
Microsoft Bus Driver should be loaded in your system before installing Realtek HD Audio Driver
After much internet-searching and hair tearing, I was about to give up. Nothing was working – none of the downloads or drivers seemed to do the trick.
As a last throw of the dice, I decided to check the BIOS. I found that the onboard soundcard had been disabled?! Enabling this did the trick.
Simple when you know how!

We launched our new website today. Visit it at www.skiptonsystems.co.uk!
The new website was designed and built completely in-house by our team of developers.
The reason we decided to launch a new site was primarily to match the new brand of Skipton Systems, but also to reflect the new, focussed direction we are taking as a company. Business IT support and IT solutions is our livelyhood, and our lives. We wanted to get that message across.
To celebrate the lauch of the new website, we are offering businesses in the local area a FREE systems healthcheck and 30 minute IT consultation. We are well placed to provide advice on anything IT related, such as backup routines, storage space and virus/spam control. Don’t let those nagging little problems that have been plaguing you escalate into something more serious and expensive! This service is completely free with no-obligation, so you have nothing to lose. It might just save you more expense in the future or just put your mind at ease.
If you wish to book your free systems health check and 30 minute IT consultation, email info@skiptonsystems.co.uk or call us on 01756 707896.
Yesterday, we launched a new website for our client Sean Lockyear Specialist Cars. The site address is www.seanlockyear.co.uk.
The site is powered by the Skipton Systems Content Management Solution, which allows Sean to edit his own web content.
As well as the standard CMS, we have developed a new, bespoke web application for this project. This web application will officially be launching as a new product in a week or two after some small tweaks. More information will be provided then, but we are very excited about this!
As we’ve mentioned before, SkiptonSystems is a Sophos Silver partner.

Sophos Antivirus Silver Partner
Sophos allows potential clients to download trial versions of their award-winning antivirus / anti-spam and client firewall products. For more information, please visit our website.
SkiptonSystems was featured in the business section of the Craven Herald this week.
The article was written because we are currently celebrating our first year in business, and also the way the company has grown beyond our wildest expectations. The article was very positive, including a small interview with myself.
The new Access Protection Ltd was launched today at www.accessprotection.com.
SkiptonSystems designed and built the website, with a great deal of input from the guys at Access Protection, who knew exactly what they wanted it to look and feel like. The close relationship between the two businesses was a great success. It helped that our offices are less than 50m from each other!
The new site features a Content Management System that allows staff to upload/edit/delete their own product datasheets, a Flash introduction page and a JQuery product scroller.
